Summary of fundamentals of information and signals classification and characteristics. Spectral representation of periodic, nonperiodic and random signals. Communication channel diagram. Analogue and discrete modulation of a harmonic carrier, impulse modulation. Modulators and demodulators. Multiplexing.
Students will receive fundamentals of information transfer, signals classification and characteristic, including spectral representation. They will get a deep insight in analogue and discrete modulation of a harmonic carrier and impulse modulations as well as in modulators and demodulators in use. |
